    “Active (default): Calculates a rank based on the score and time of the latest comment, with decay over time

    Hot: Like active, but uses time when the post was published”

    I also want to know. I notice “hot” seems almost completely useless right now. A lot of posts with hardly any upvotes or comments get counted as “hot”. Yet, I believe it’s the default sort, which is a shame.
